RoboRumble/Contributing to RoboRumble

ATTENTION: This article is not about entering a new robot into RoboRumble. Enter here.

You should consider contributing to RoboRumble and the Robocode community, by donating spare computer time to execute battles between bots (similar to the Folding@home and SETI@Home projects). The process is fully automated, so there is no pain in doing it.

Run it as much as you can! The more you run it, the faster everybody's bots will be ranked. Report problems here.

Useful options in roborumble.txt

BATTLESPERBOT ‒ The minimum number of battles a bot needs before it stops getting priority.

NUMBATTLES ‒ The number of battles fought on each run of roborumble

ITERATE ‒ Whether to run battles indefinitely.

UPLOAD ‒ Can be used to disable uploading. Disable uploading when testing a version of Robocode NOT allowed by the server. Not really necessary, as the current server will reject results from incorrect versions anyway.
